Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (19 January, 2015)

In the beautiful sunshine day, I spent most of the time for photographing Eurasian Woodcock.  There were 3 individuals in the marsh area in the park.

Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (February 13, 2011)

After raining/snowing for two days, it was finally fine.  Despite the beautiful sky, birds tended to be less active.  An Eurasian Sparrowhawk (female) attacked Brown-eared Bulbul, but it failed to hunt.  A Water Rail was feeding in the marsh as usual while albino female Daurian Redstart is still in the park.  Today's highlight was Eurasian Woodcock.  Two birds came closer than usual.
